Lyle Poesch was born in Postville on April 2, 1918, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Poesch. He attended the Postville schools and graduated from high school with the class of 1935. After leaving school Lyle worked as a mechanic until he was called in the selective service, being inducted into the Navy in September of last year. On November 19, 1941, he was married to Miss Ruth Darlene Echard of Waukon and the couple made their home in Postville. He is survived by his wife, his parents, a brother, Sergeant Leslie Poesch in the U.S. Army, and a sister, Jessie, who is a student at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio.
